The problem is "Electronic" is incredibly vague considering almost every car produced in the last 15 or even longer years has some sort of internal wiring, fuses and even sensors and other things built in. Mechanical is also an extra pointless distinction, all cars have mechanical components! I mean what does he seriously think every single one is 100% different from each other? The biggest distinction I can think of is that most "smart cars" use keyless entry systems and use push buttons to start that need a little fob keychain within distance to start.

The drawbacks of a mostly wireless system should be obvious, not that exploiting it is super common yet.

Things have been pretty positive lately compared to a few days ago, so yeah I think I'm happy. Looks like you guys have been behaving yourselves too so that's nice.

I guess we're the definitive thread again? Other one seems to have slowly died off.

I love how every time I start thinking Neonivek isn't as bad as he makes himself look, he quickly proves me wrong. It's not even a real question if you look at it, I don't even know where to begin to parse it and that's WITH following the self driving cars and internet of things stories for years.

Yeah, and the original complaints were just over having a white guy shoot a bunch of black guys. Idiots. As has been said both in my post and others here.

and a thought occurred to me... Remember when having a game take place in Africa with Africans in it was considered racist?

Goodness what happened?

The complaint was more over the weird very tribal ones in the midgame pretty much depicted more like monsters. The initial complaints were just idiots, but there's very little real excuse for the bone nosed tribals in that section. Not that I honestly care, just I think this is what really happened. And yet despite all that, no one complained about the backwater Spanish stereotypes in RE4. Down to a castle filled with creepy monks once again depicted as far less outwardly human than the other variations.

And besides everyone is too busy being stupid over Quiet.

Starfox is actually one of the best aged games ever if you consider emulation. Some versions of zsnes will run it without the slowdown, which makes it amazing.

I need to sit down and give the expandalone for that a try sometime. Last time we tried, longwar was installed but it just felt off. And unstable. So we just played openxcom with final modpack instead.

Meanwhile in swat 4 land, shooting a man with a ballistic vest in the side with a beanbag before he notices you has a super high chance of making him give up if you immediately shout. When in reality that guy would probably shout, turn around and spray automatic weapon fire thinking he's been shot for real.

And yet if you shot him in the side of the face you'd likely kill him. So be glad Kojima and his team went for fun!

That's...  good to know.  SWAT4 lied to me!

SWAT 4 is actually not very realistic deep down. If anything beanbag shotgun rounds are MORE effective in swat 4 than in real life.

Tonights been a blur of pinball, talking about the gulf war, old school pew pews and all sorts of stuff.

Having a girlfriend with a huge and wide set of interests can be a little befuddling with all the jumps back and forth.

I heard from a good source that wolf girls really did 9/11.

Wait, why not?

Recent events caused domain blockings. Not sure I should go further into this.

Also the magma stuff is really annoying.

If this place was just about DF I doubt I'd stick around, given I'm not even allowed to play the game anymore anyway it would be pointless. But some of the people around here seem okay and since recent events I thought it might be a good chance to make myself a somewhat more social person.

So yeah, stuff.

You just squeeze the sheep right onto the salad. Stick that head in a vice and twist.

Butternut squash hits the spot for salads with lots of dressing.

Hey bb I'm gonna butter my nut right in your salad
